CANDLE-LANTERN.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,770, datedOctober 4, 1887.

Application filed March 30, 1887.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SERAN O. DRUMHELLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Sunbury, in the county of Northumberland and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCandle-Lanterns; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompany-- ing drawings, and to the letters andfigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

The special object is to improve that class of light lanterns which areused about stables and outbuildings, so that they may be carried,cleaned, and manipulated with more convenience.

Figure l of the drawings is an elevation in perspective, showing myimproved lantern; Fig. 2, a vertical section, and Fig. 3 a detail View,of the cap and deflector. Fig. 4 is a detail view in sectional elevationof -a modification of my lantern, showing the upper part of the hollowstand having the groove 1) to receive the drip and the spring to holdthe candle steadily against the inside of. the neck or socket.

In the drawings, A represents a hollow sheet-metal stand having theair-inlet a. and the air-outlets a near the top, which is made tubularto receive a candle, B. Through this tube or neck a is a side hole, cthrough which passes a pin, a, so as to hold the candle at any point orelevation to which it may be adjusted.

G is a collar, made of sheet metal, either plane or concave on the upperside, so as to catch the drippings from the candle; is fitted snuglyabout the neck a and may be easily removed and quickly cleaned, while itprevents the drippings from finding their way to other parts of thelantern. I may use the pin a to hold the candle in the neck or socket a5 but I preferably employ the spring b, which is made fast at the bottomto the outside of the Serial No. $232,960. (No model.)

neck and arranged to press inwardly at its upper end, so as always tohold the candle securely against the socket.

D is a lamp-chimney of blown glass, which fits at the bottom about thestand annulus a and rests upon a shoulder, a. Thus itis very firmlysupported and not liable to be easily displaced.

E is a wire, which is doubled and the two ends passed down through theholes'a a] in the stand, under which they are made fast by soldering orin any other approved manner.

The arms 6 e are made to extend above the top of the chimney, and theconnecting-bend e is made to form a bridge, on which I place anon-conducting wooden handle, 6. By placing one or two fingers aroundthis handle the heat from the wire will not reach the hand.

In order to still further guard the hand from the heat from thecandle-flame, I place a cap, F, over the top of the chimney and make init a cross-slot, f. Over this I place a deflector, G, through a hole, 9,of which, near one end, passes one of the arms 6, while the other end isnotched at g. This deflector may be placed higher or lower above thecap, and will be held by the spring of the arms e c. This turns off theproducts of combustion as they rise from the candle, and prevents themfrom burning the hand.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding ofmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by LettersPatent, is-

The combination, with the stand A, chimney D, and wire handle E, of thechimney-cap F, having slot f, and the adjustable deflector G, having-thehole 9 and notch g, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I afflx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SERAN O. DRUMHELLER.
